I wish you God speed as you assume a second term in office,

Merchan said

This case should not have been brought,

Blanche said during the hearing

This has been a truly extraordinary case,

Merchan said, noting the unprecedented circumstances of sentencing a president-elect

This has been a tremendous setback for New York and the New York court system,

he said

This is a long way from finished and I respect the court’s opinion."

In response to the ruling, Trump struck the perfect note Thursday night and declined to criticize the Court, stating

Virtually everyone that I know of … not one, these people are not exactly friends of mine, to put it mildly … have all said it’s a case that should never be brought,

Trump told the court before listing off authors and legal analysts he says support his view

I’m totally innocent, I did nothing wrong … The business records were extremely accurate.”

Throughout his remarks, the president-elect maintained his innocence

It has been a political witch hunt, it was done to damage my reputation,

he added

This is a great embarrassment to the state of New York,

Trump said

After careful analysis, this court determined only lawful sentence that permits entry of judgment of conviction is an unconditional discharge,

Merchan said Friday

This ruling ensures that no individual, regardless of position, is above the law."

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr. in a statement

To this day, this highly political and corrupt Judge has put a gag order on me, which takes away my First Amendment right to speak about very important aspects of the case. For the sake and sanctity of the Presidency, I will be appealing this case, and am confident that JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL. The pathetic, dying remnants of the Witch Hunts against me will not distract us as we unite and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

It is time for Joe Biden and Merrick Garland to do the right thing and put a final stop to the political weaponization of our justice system,

Trump said in remarks before a meeting with Republican governors following his return to Mar-a-Lago after Jimmy Carter’s funeral in DC

First, the alleged evidentiary violations as president-elect Trump's state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course of appeal,

the unsigned ruling said

I am innocent of all of the judge's made up, fake charges,

he wrote on his Truth Social platform

Every Legal Scholar stated, unequivocally, that this is a case that should never have been brought. There was no case against me. In other words, I am innocent of all of the Judge’s made up, fake charges,
